Profile

Built in Tasmania of Huon Pine, this yacht finished 10th in the 20 Year Veteran Division in the 1994 race. Under the guidance of Hedley Calvert, she won the 1975 Australian One Ton Cup and placed in the Tasmanian Southern Cross Cup team the same year, when she was a top IOR racing yacht. She now races in IMS and will be steered this year by well-known Tasmanian yachtsman Rod Jackman, who is coming up for his 22nd race south.
